Melksham boss Kelvin Highmore says his side are not looking forward to their trip to Corsham Town on Saturday.

They travel to the Southbank for an FA Cup First Round Qualifying clash having already lost 2-0 to Mel Gingell's side in the league this season.

Despite being on the back of a 2-0 FA Vase win over Alton on Saturday, Highmore knows they are vast underdogs against Gingell's in form outfit.

He said: "It is a game we should stand no chance in. They gave us a lesson last time we played and we are massive underdogs. I will be happy to get a draw and take them back to our place.

"There is no psychology - it is a game we are not looking forward to."

Corsham have also been speaking to Melksham's veteran striker Steve Tweddle as they look to bolster their attacking options. But Highmore is confident the former Chippenham Town favourite will reject their overtures.

"He told me, and I believe him, if he ever left Melksham it would be to retire," said Highmore. He has got one, maybe two, seasons left and he came back to finish off and retire at the club where he made his name.

"I would be flabbergasted if he changed his mind."

Tweddle opened his account for the season on Saturday with the second goal in the 2-0 FA Vase First Round Qualifying win over Alton at the Conigre.

Frankie Coleman's first half volley gave the hosts a 1-0 lead and Tweddle wrapped the game up in the second half, but the performance was far from classic.

"People have been having a little moan, supporters and the committee have been used to seeing better. But I guess it is a compliment to how far we have come," said Highmore, whose side host Thame United on September 22 in the next round.

"When I arrived 18 months ago, people would have ripped their right arm off for a 2-0 win and more money in the pot. The lads seemed to do enough to win the game but were guilty of overplaying the ball."
